MOSER AT DUBAI DESIGN WEEK: A DUET OF A MASTER ENGRAVER AND ONE FALCON

At Downtown Design, Moser puts emphasis on the art of handcrafted glassmaking. Both key glass refinement techniques – cutting and engraving - have something in common: hours of precise, patient work. "Our installation has two storylines. The first focuses on the overall process of creating a cut vase. The second storyline takes place in real time right at our stand, and offers visitors an extraordinary experience," says Jan Plechac, Moser's new Art Director.

The stand showcases seven essential steps of the demanding production of the new vase "The Pineapple", designed by Lukas Jaburek. The elaborate vertical cut of this crystal object reflects the craftsmanship of Moser glassmakers. The second storyline features the presentation of engraving, the most difficult glass refinement technique there is. Master engraver Radek Svoboda is demonstrating his skills on a table made specifically for this event. A live falcon is present at the stand and can watch Svoboda engrave the bird's image onto a glass object. The falcon was brought to the event upon a special exemption and is accompanied by a falconer. All requirements reflecting its needs will be met.

Moser is a traditional brand dating back to the 19^th century and always had the ability to captivate glass lovers and set glassmaking trends. The principal task of the new art director is to ensure the Czech glass company continues to impress in the 21^st century. "The unique Moser installation at Downtown Design marks the beginning of our journey from a traditional brand to a new, vibrant and sophisticated one, telling inspiring stories," saysJan.
